Yes, we know j'ou miss usi and it ig npleasing, a Consoling thought, that, though Xar'away from many of those wbom we hold dearer ihan life—though theetern^I-^iiow-cap. ped ridges of the Sierras, smd the rug- gdd and almost insurmountable raiigea of the Rooky Mountains loom-up in aw# fifti grandeur between- us—yet IJiich kindly -feeling as this, is capable of winging its 'heavenly Sight unharmed, high o’er fheir lofty peaks and swift as an arrow, and light as if borne on the wings of a zephyr,, it speeds iar over of treason In apprising ^acy fbe white man, of the designs of the tribe, where by they took the alarm and well nigh escaped. He proposed'lo examine the prisoners, as .to who. gave the inforroa- tion.'jThe old man assented to this, and NaomeU umong the rest. Stacy was first interrogated by one of the old men, i^bo spoke Dnelish, and. interpret ed to the'Others,r-:TStacy_refused to be- Iray his informant. His* wife vVas then . „ questioned, while at the same moment j of the home circle ; ah . at such two Indians stood threatening the two fancy we see their loved, fa- ion of fond hearts, though oceans roll between, yet often a'breath,a sigh, ora Hod bless you,” is borne upon the Wings of heavtnly messengers, to glad den the heart of the distant, though kindred spirit.
